[Enoch Root]

Kerins has the potential to be a good player

[transplant99]

He is the possible backlund replacement

Connor Mackey will be 26 at the start of the regular season. I really hope he makes the team this season. Otherwise, maybe he’ll be a promising prospect for his 27 year old season?

[Monahammer]

Kerins should be 3rd on our list

He has played 1 full season of pro hockey.

His path is not all that dissimilar to Giordano, minus the trip to Russia.

That guy turned out alright.

[btimbit]

Kerins here. I vote for ceiling

[Lanny_McDonald]

Still going with Kuznetsov.

Mackey looked really good last year in limited action, but he needs to earn/get an opportunity to be a full-time NHLer with the Flames this season. Otherwise, his viability as a prospect for the Flames will be questionable for me because of age and because his contract is up at the end of this season.

I think the route to Mackey getting an opportunity is via injury or via Kylington being traded. I see Mackey as 4th on the LD depth chart.

[BlindMilwaukee]

I really like Mackey but I went with ceiling as well.

[TheScorpion]

I just don't see the ceiling there with Mackey.

At some point it becomes just as much about floor when you're pushing closer to the 10 spot on a prospect list.

[Nelson]

Poirier’s next for me.

I wouldn't use the outlier to prove the premise.

While it means he has a chance, it also means his odds are long.

[Mass_nerder]

Maybe it's silly to say, but Mackey is a bottom of the lineup guy, but Kerins is a mystery box.
Who knows what he could be? He could even be a bottom of the lineup guy!

[Finger Cookin]

This was no easy decision, I had to really think outside the box to make a decision. But Mackey is the choice.

Everybody at this point are long odds.

This fella was with the big club for about 3 months last year....in my mind that makes him more than just another "guy".
